“We knew going in that all the teams other than host Princeton were going to be unfamiliar with the course, with Chapel Hill not hosting this event since 2018, so we made sure to play a bit more conservatively and not take too many risks,” he said. “The players did a nice job just keeping the ball in play, and limiting the damage. It wasn’t anything flashy, but it got the job done.”
